Camp-meeting in Iowa.

The annual Iowa camp-meeting for 1880 will be held in the city of Des Moines, the capital of the State, June 3–8. At this meeting the business connected with the Conference, tract society, Sabbath-school, and temperance organizations will be transacted. We expect this camp-meeting to be the largest ever held in the State. We have made special application to have Bro. and Sister White present, and we trust we shall not be disappointed. We hope other able speakers will be present also.
Des Moines is the most central point for the mass of our people. Railroads center there from all directions. It is the capital of the State, and many will wish to attend for that reason. We want our people to commence immediately to plan for a grand rally to this meeting. We shall not have camp-meetings, as last year, in several sections of the State. We think the time will suit the people generally better than any other which could be selected.
Let all plan to come, and seek the Lord at this meeting. As a Conference, we need a great awakening. Geo. L. Butler, Pres. Iowa Conference.
The third annual meeting of the Kansas Sabbath-school Association will be held in connection with the camp-meeting at Wakarusa, May 20–25, 1880. “Each Sabbath-school of fifteen members is entitled to one delegate, and one additional delegate for each additional fifteen members.”

These will be the last meetings we can hold before commencing tent-labor, and we know not when we can meet with these churches again; therefore we desire all within reach of the meetings, especially scattered brethren, to attend.
